Don't respond with the typical 'You wouldn't be complaining if it was a woman', because honestly, you don't know that. I would be saying the same thing whether the model is a man or a woman (and I have). I think it's funny how people are so quick to assume that because someone doesn't like a picture like this, it must be because of the gender or they're suppressing their gay thoughts and this brought them up. People are allowed to dislike something, right? Don't assume you can read their minds and know exactly WHY they don't like it.
Anyway, I don't care for this picture, though I have no problem with nudity. It's the stance and lighting that I don't like, not to mention I hate the look of fur on a jacket or men (or women, for that matter) wearing fishnets. It's just not pleasing to my eyes.

(But I'm only 14, and this being in my faves would spark many a question...)
The MALE body is BEAUTIFUL TOO, YOU GUYS. grow up.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous how men (and to a lesser extent, women it seems) react when they see a naked man vs. a naked woman. It's one thing if male nudity just isn't your cup of tea, I get that, each to their own and all that, but if you actually get upset if you see a naked dude then maybe that points to something more than a difference in taste*.
I'll go check out the discussion. Although I have to say I don't entirely agree on the "DeviantART is biased"-point. I remember reading a news article where this point, this accusation of dA being homophobic was adressed, and the answer was that it was simply a matter of quantity. There are simply much more female nudes (or female nudes being suggested for DD's) than there are male ones.
Having said that though, I'll go suggest some DD's while I'm at it, and see how they end up.
*Which isn't saying that you're gay and supressing your gay feelings, but rather to say that you have some insecurity issues.
